i am trying to implement a custom tab control in my win32 window, for that i have used a layered window which is child of the main app window (for the main tab control) and independent windows for individual tab items.

My problem: Whenever i move the main app window, the control window moves along with it (because its the child window) where as the individual tab item windows remain on their position. Can anyone guide me how to to get the tab items windows move along with the main app window concurrently? I can not set the item windows as child of the app, so please base your suggestions on that.

    You should redesign your tab to be a child window. Otherwise your attempts to make it work is nothing but a desperate try to fix the thing made bad in first place.

    Still if you feel like sticking the original plan, you need to hook/subclass the main app window and handle its movement and sizing messages (WM_MOVING and friends) so that your handler could update your popup/tab window position respectively.
